About Thing-a-Day

As panda hasn't actually failed yet after 20 days, I feel I should say something about it...
The art panda does tends to be left unfinished, or otherwise considered not good enough to show anyone, but things got to the point where nothing was being posted for months at a time, or much longer.
To counter that, panda wanted to try posting art each day for a month, new or old, finely polished or otherwise, just to get used to posting things on a regular basis.
Panda is trying to make something new most days, falling back to posting an older piece if things don't work out, and improving the piece as much as possible as time allows before posting it by midnight.
Panda decided the art for this should be G-rated so it can be posted everywhere, and also should include at least one character, so the landscapes don't count~
From doing this, panda hopes to be less shy about posting new things in the future, but also to get better at finishing art in a timely manner, even if there is more detailing that could be done to marginally improve the piece.
It seems even rough pieces have charm though, as people seem to like the things panda doesn't consider finished, too~

Even though I do post stuff almost everyday, it's nowhere near my commission quality. My main comic is where I focus all my artistic efforts...unless someone pays me...then i'll drop everything and spend a few days on the commission
It is getting harder as I exhaust my supply of 'art that just needs a few hours work to finish', yeah, but I think the result is worth the trouble? :3 Maybe! Though sometimes I wish I'd see more views on a piece I worked hard on to finish and was rather pleased with the result, that seemed to get far less attention than the more crap things I've posted.. lol
In the mean time I'm still trying to get some work done on larger pieces, where I can.
